AGRICULTURAL,
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
The Churn.

Whatever churn is selected, never set
1t in the sun to dry, but dry indoors in
clear, pure air. The swing churn, an
oblong, rectangular box, in which the
cream swashes back and forth from end
to end, produces the same results, and
so will float or dash churn, if skilfully
worked, provided the cream is properly
tempered in each case.
One of the most important points to
observe in selecting churn is to get one
that is large enough. Small churns, or
churns that are too nearly filled with
cream when in use, causes much trouble
in thousands of dairy-rooms. No churn
should ever be more than half full Of
cream to give the best satisfaction.
Churns without floats or dash will not
work if too full, and others cannot make
the best butter or the most possible from
the cream if they are much more than
half full.-New England Farmer.

Caterpillars and Civilization.

After a recent shower several men
armed with coarse scrubbing brushes on
long handles went through City Hall
Park scrubbing down the trunks of all
the trees. 1t took considerable observa-
ton to find that they were brushing of
Il crop of catcrpilars that the rain seemed
to have brought into being, and that
were crawling up toward happy hunting
grounds in the green leaves as rapidly as
thcymight.
''Catcrpillars are funny things" said a
gentleman who watched the operation,
"but the strangest thing about them is
the fact, which most people don't know,
that they are an adjunct of civilization.
They are never found except where
civilized men have made settlement.
] have gone for hundred miles through
primitive woods and never seen one; but
let man set up his house and try to
raise shrubbcry in his front yard and the
measly things spring up in swarms.-Neo

of potash, but gradually worked in more

Most of the vines are set eight by six
feet, and they run on trellis made by
placing chestnut posts once IN twelve tcct
and stretching four lengths No. - gal
vanized wire. The first wire is twenty
inches from the ground; then there IS
distance of fourteen inches, then thirteen
inches, then fourteen inches. The wire
can be fastened to the posts by staples, or
by an cight-pcnny wrought-iion nail, or
two sin penny nails.driven into the posts
so as to cross each other near their heads.
Braces can be put in to support the end
posts. The vines alternate, running first
on the lower and then on the third wire
the young shoots of each alternate vine
to be tied up to the second and fourth
wires respectively and the first two
strong shoots at the base of the vine to
be grown six feet in length and then
ripcncd for wood to fruit the next year.
The young shoots are pinched when
they attain the length wanted, from seven
to eight leaves, and when the shoot
siren gthcns enough it is tied. as has been
toll, to the wire above. Then as the
latcrals start they are kept pinched in to
one leaf; this sends the sap into the first
leaves that started and increases their
size: and this is what is wanted, as it is
the first large leaves that the grower
mainly relies on to ripen the crop.

Several Cakes in One.

Frequently a housekecper wishes to
place variety of cake before guest
and has not time 10 follow several re-
ceipts. Imperial cake has the advantage
of making from one proportion three va
rictics. A proportion OF it can be baked
in biscuit tin, iced, and when the icing
has stood till it is firm enough to mark
it off in squares with knife, melt a
little charcoal in a cup over a tcakettlc,
and with small camcls-hair brush mark
each square as the taste dictates. Two
small bar-tins can be made, one with cit
ron or raisins and one plain cake, or a
cake of three layers and a bar-tin. Two
kinds of layer cake can he made
by cutting the layers in halves and
filling each with something different.
A piece of white writing paper
can be placed bctwcen the halves,
and they can be placed lightly together
so they will not become dry. The receipt
calls for seven ounces of butter for rich
cake, six for a palmer ono; one pound OF
powered sugar, one pound of siftcd flour,
a scant half-pint of milk, one teaspoon
of soda, slightly more than level, then
level teaspoons of cream tartar and five
eggs. Flavor with almond, vanilla, or
rose. Pulverizc the soda thoroughly and
Sift it and the cream tartar with the flour.
1t is better to slit it twice, heat the but
ter to cream and stir the sugarin. Then
add the yo!ks of the eggs well beaten
ard stir for few minutes and then add
the milk. Have some one stir in the
flour while the eggs arc being beaten to a
stiff froth. Tic whites must be lightly
stirred in just before the cake is ready to
be put into the pan. Bake in quick
ovcn.-Dctyoit Tribune.
